About phishing<\/h3>\n
Phishing is when someone tries to get access to your Facebook account by sending you a suspicious message or link that asks for your personal information. If they get into your account, they may use your account to send spam.<\/p>\n
Example of phishing<\/h4>\n
Joey gets an email that says he needs to log into his Facebook account to read an important message about his account. The email links to a website that isn’t a Facebook website. Then he’s asked to enter his username and password.<\/p>\n
